94/100 — James Halliday · 1998 Vintage
“Medium to full red-purple; the bouquet is strongly savoury/spicy, with touches of roasted hazelnuts surrounding the lovely sweet cherry and plum fruit which comes through strongly in the mouth. Sweet, soft and ripe tannins round off the finish; once again, the oak has been absorbed by the fruit.”

93/100 — CellarTracker · 1998 Vintage

About This Wine

Region: Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia. Vines: Original 1969 plantings of Shiraz with additional Shiraz planted across the 1990’s, Mataro & Viognier drawn from vines planted from 1984 to 1995.

Fruit was hand-picked, transferred across a sorting table and destemmed directly to the Yarra Yering half-tonne open-fermenters. As much whole berry as possible is retained to encourage perfume. A portion of fermenters had frozen Viognier skins added to the bottom.

The wine was aged for 15 months in French oak barriques, 30% new before blending and bottling.
